What bearing does that have on my actual point though? I never said anything to contradict this.
Oh I must have misunderstood you then. I thought you were saying that an Atheist can't really say he has no control over the fact that he does not believe God is real unless he informs himself, investigates, etc.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
